I think Trump is weak and Musk is making his move. There was talk of Trump being tired on the campaign trail, and I notice most of the voices attacking musk are out of the circle. Loomer, Gaetz. In retrospect I wonder if Musk is the one who got Gaetz out.

I don’t know that we’ll see a 25th amendment, but I do think the power structure is shifting from working class /populist MAGA to tech elite MAGA.

Sure. Beef with an organization.

But if you are going to bother signing up, is 'jeans' really the hill to die on?

If the beef is with the organization, just boycott altogether.

Otherwise, just put on some pants.

EDIT:

Perhaps the downvotes are because of disagreement with methods of protest?

What brings greater attention to your cause?

1. A boycott, you just don't go to the event? And make a press statement about it, that probably doesn't get any headlines.

or

2. Sign up, go, then angrily get disqualified, based on some stupid rule, which gets a lot of headlines, and attention focused on silly rules of the organization?

Guess, if the goal was to effect change, then maybe this was the correct move. But if it was just being pissi, then why bother signing up, you know the rules, so just don't go.
Yup, it's name of a thing, what gave icons of "file folders" a distinct notch and tan color.

You and the other person are both correct. What you're saying makes sense and it is what everybody is trained to do. However, it leads to a lot of useless code exactly because you're applying an abstraction that is used only once. That's why most codebases are bloated and have a huge number of dependencies.

Not exactly. A diesel engine uses less fuel at 80% load than 50%. At maximum load it uses the most fuel but in general as load increases the engine gets more efficient and so the calculations are weird.

Note that generators need to run at constant rpm to provide the correct ac frequency. Your car has gears so that it can run at lower rpm at low loads and so you won't see the same effect.

> Instead they should think from the perspective of an evil person

From experience, they usually come up with some variation of "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" [1]. And even those who buy the idea that private information could be used against them, most of them don't believe that someone would do this to them. What seems to be missing is understanding of how scalable and automated these attacks can be in the digital world.

[1] Amusingly enough, one of those "I have nothing to hide" people was pretty shaken when they asked me to take a look at a scam email that said "Hello <firstname from leaked database>, we have photos of you watching porn. Pay us or we'll post them on Facebook."

Has anyone had success with informing people about these types of abstract dangers? I find that people either get it almost immediately, or they never really get it until it happens to them.
Doing frees/moves/copies on the second stack makes it harder to track the lifetime of allocations, and restricts what you can use it for - to free a block on the stack you necessarily have to free everything after it.

Most programs have a point where you know nothing on it is used and it's convenient (and very performant) to free the entire thing, and that makes it way easier to reason about - when you alloc from it you know your block of memory it's valid until a <RESET> point:

- For a video game you can <RESET> at the start of every frame
- For a web server you can alloc a new stack for every incoming request and <RESET> after the request is over
- For a short-lived program you may not even need to <RESET> at all

I like simple, but this looks almost _too_ simple. You say you got burned out on metrics, but where you see clutter and distraction, I see data for identifying patterns. I track my measurements and like to see how much weight I'm lifting and how far I'm running over time. IME, it's easy to get stuck on a plateau and not really notice it when life gets busy and "get the workout over with" starts to become the only goal.

Right now, I'm following established programs and tracking what I do in a Google spreadsheet. I certainly don't love relying on Google but I need to be able to edit and view my workouts from both my computer at home (for planning) and on my phone at the gym (for entering data).
The act of turning AIS off can attract unwanted attention (higher resolution local satellite monitoring), less likely if you are entering waters where piracy is common and many vessels disable AIS.

If a vessel turns AIS off then cuts the cable, but their position is known by other means, they will be giving up plausible deniability.

Show HN: A free OG image generator
I made this tool because I was tired of opening Figma every time I needed a social preview image. You can create professional-looking OG images by simply:

- Pick a template
- Type your text
- Click save

No design skills needed, no Figma/Photoshop required, no account setup. Just clicks.

Features:

- Browser-based, zero installation
- Instant preview as you edit
- Export to PNG/JPEG/WebP
- API available for automation
- Built-in templates optimized for social platforms
- Responsive grid system that "just works"

The goal was to make it as frictionless as possible - if you can click a mouse, you can create OG images.

Looking forward to your feedback!

I never cared for Spotify, but I was an early Google Play Music user. Loved it. Then they forced me to YT music and I left for Apple. The YT UI was so bad.

Now I have both AM and YTM because of bundling. AM stream quality is noticeably better. The YTM UI has gotten better over the years and I think the sheer size of YTM means there are tons of playlists which I like.

My preference now would be to duplicate all the YTM user playlists to AM.
The biggest improvement from this (besides maybe performance) is that it should enable much better manually programmed syntax error messages. Those generated by yacc were pretty shit.

This is generally my #1 reason for using a manual parser — nobody has yet made a pretty good syntax error handling / reporting for parser generators or parser combinators.

It's genuinely very complex — I read the whole literature on that as of 2019 (there's surprisingly little). You basically have to inject custom logic, though there are a few heuristics that you can prepackage and can be useful in a lot of places. But the custom aspect of it means this doesn't play nice with traditional LL/LR parser generators. It could be done for parser combinators (PEG etc) however. Didn't have enough time in my PhD thesis to play with this, and I moved on to other things, but I'm hoping someone will make this eventually.

Seen Primer first, though it’s 100% due a rewatch. I think it lacks certain poetry that Upstream Color has.

I don’t know if we should denounce the art if the artist turns out to be a bad person in some ways, previously had some thoughts about it but forgot what they were. Maybe the answer is “we should if we know about it”. However, no person is unchanging, and by that logic the person who creates the art is not the same entity as the person who does bad things, unless it happens in close enough proximity or relation to each other.

Nowadays, whenever I browse Netflix, I feel like that Bruce Springsteen song, "57 Channels (And Nothin' On)."[a] Sure, there are lots of choices, but they all kinda suck. I find myself wondering, why? The OP weaves an insightful, opinionated narrative that explains how we got here. Much of it rings true. This passage, in particular struck a chord with me:

> Several screenwriters who’ve worked for the streamer told me a common note from company executives is “have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this program on in the background can follow along.” [...] One tag among Netflix’s thirty-six thousand microgenres offers a suitable name for this kind of dreck: “casual viewing.” Usually reserved for breezy network sitcoms, reality television, and nature documentaries, the category describes much of Netflix’s film catalog — movies that go down best when you’re not paying attention, or as the Hollywood Reporter recently described Atlas, a 2024 sci-fi film starring Jennifer Lopez, “another Netflix movie made to half-watch while doing laundry.”

In other words, people like me, who want to focus on and experience a great film or series, are no longer the target audience.

Apparently, there's no money in targeting people who want to pay attention.

How to Win at Coding Interviews (Video CppCon 2022 Lightning Talk))
I think you missed my point.

Your comment reads as "to those who call themselves X: No, you're not at all a bad person!". Like, they never said they were.

I don't label myself. It's a description. I could tell you I'm white, and your reply could equally well be "no, you're not a bad person. You should stop labelling yourself as white". I… didn't say I was a bad person. Nor did I say my identity revolves around whiteness. I don't join white people clubs. I don't let my skin color decide where I live, work, or who my friends are.

You're the one obsessed with labels.

> you're not an introvert is my point.

Clearly you know me better than I know myself. /s

If your point is that everyone's equal on introversion/extroversion, that (just like the cure for depression is "just snap out of it") it's all a matter of "just try", then not sure what golden plate inside a hat you read that on, but good luck with that.

And to be clear: Saying I'm not an introvert is not a compliment. Nor is it an insult. It's simply factually incorrect. I'm also not Japanese.
But there currently isn't a problem with physical passports. They work!

Since not every episode follows that formula, I wonder if that's a requirement specifically of spec script writers because they'd want to keep the more important/interesting episodes written by staff.

3D-printed neighborhood nears completion in Texas
You, along with many others, seem very confused about this. No one is talking about random people uploading their MP3s to YouTube the video service.

YouTube Music is a separate service. The music is provided by music labels in exactly the same way it is provided to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and others. Music labels provide digital masters and the streaming service encodes as necessary for their users.

Doesn't Spotify still have a free tier? I think that would account for the biggest discrepancy in their payouts.
Couldn't disagree more.

They're not fine-grained enough IMO - IMDB's "parent's guide" is great for detailed content information.

Similarly, with game ratings (video- and boardgames, as it happens), I appreciate them, but often they're trying to do two things, rate the game content and the gameplay. They fail often, and I buy outside the ratings, but I'm happier having them than not having any information in that space.

I wouldn't want no ratings for film/TV as that would mean I'd have to seek out spoiler-level information before finding if media was right for what I wanted to consume (or take friends/family to consume). I try my best to see little about the plot of films I'm keen to watch.

My new favourite word!
Youtube still has massive variety and quality of production. I've largely been able to avoid the clickbait-optimized videos by curating my subscriptions. I've found about a dozen creators who's content I regularly watch. Many of them create YouTube videos as secondary to some other hobby or profession. Most are trending towards the clickbait thumbnail, but few are actually changing their content in that direction.
Fuck Nintendo! They were the first to "get inspired" from others, also being against copyrights because everybody benefits from copying each other. Let them die.
For me, it wasn't the coffee it was the caffeine. Switched to decaf and my acid reflex disappeared nearly instantly. Try slowly swapping out 1 cup of regular for decaf, followed by another, followed by another, until you are off of regular coffee entirely. Over a surprisingly short-ish time, that "I feel sleepy without coffee" thing will go away and if you're in the same boat as me, your reflux will disappear too.
I sort of unironically agree with this. Time is limited and most tv and films don’t fit my criteria for “worth watching”, so I will read the plot synopsis for media that I think may be terrible, so I don’t have to find out later.

I don't think so. That gives you a 10 minute margin, which can get uncomfortable quickly if there are any delays in getting there.

If I can walk to a station and I know the route, 10 minutes margin is plenty enough. But if I have to drive+park or take public transport, I won't trust a 10 minute margin.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the premise, the article doesn't really say anything other than "TCP good, your abstraction bad, don't use abstraction".
For those who drink caffeine and have reflux, try shift to decaf. I still drink the same amount of coffee as I did before, only now it is decaf rather than regular. Acid reflux disappeared to the point I didn't need a daily PPI anymore. I still have a caffeine every once in a while, but multiple daily caffeinated beverages was the cause of my reflux.
It's sometimes long-term entertainment as well. László Polgár married and raised 3 girls to be chess grandmasters. And we're still waiting for season 2: a father to raise 3 daughters to become heavy machinery operators.

China is on pace to double its installed solar capacity approximately every 3 years. So should be around 3100+GW by 2030. It might even accelerate as the recent bess system auction pushed LCOE of solar+battery below coal. Where as they are adding 7-8 nuclear reactors or 7-8 gw capacity a year which is just a blip for their electricity consumption growth so the numbers will likely go down for nuclear.

China seems to be doing most of its economic development like the west but at an extremely fast pace. It will be really interesting how fast they get off coal for electricity production and off oil for transport.

Also, this is a world rapid blitz tournament - not a "classical" chess tournament. Full length jeans is effectively business casual by today's standards. If a player said they made a mistake because they were late and confirmed that they would change their attire the next day, they should be fined but permitted to play with a warning.

There is an ENORMOUS gap between "Please don't..." and WWIII Nuke war.

And adhering to "Please don't..." is rightly seen by bullies and authoritarians of all stripes as "I won, I got away with it, I have permission to make even bigger offenses."

The law is the law only if it is backed up with enforcement. Only most of the people play by the rules. Those who don't will rapidly take everything if the law has no teeth. And the teeth must come into play rapidly and reliably when the "Please dont'..." fails to work.
The YouTube Music UI fails at very basic things. Play a track that Google seems is "for children" and you are unable to navigate to another track or browse without it stopping playing, because the service inherited YT's clumsy COPPA compliance solution.

The UI can't cope with long titles. It uses space badly. It doesn't surface content well (no Christmas playlist on the front page during December).

It's a UI mess. I tried switching my family to it since we pay for YT Premium anyway and faced a total revolt.
